M&G has appointed Shawn Gamble as chief risk and compliance officer (CRCO).
Gamble joins M&G from Hargreaves Lansdown, where she is currently group chief risk officer.
In this role, she has been responsible for leading the firm’s risk and compliance functions for the last four years.
Gamble was previously CRO at Fidelity International, and prior to that held a number of senior leadership positions at Deutsche Bank, Barclays and GE Capital.
Having spent the early part of her career focused on credit risk in her native Canada, she has more than two decades of international experience in financial and non-financial risk management.
She will join the business in 2025 and report to CEO Andrea Rossi. Gamble will also sit on the group’s executive committee.
Rossi said: “I’m delighted to welcome Shawn to M&G. Attracting someone of her calibre is a strong endorsement of M&G as we continue to drive growth and deliver against our strategy.
“Her proven track record for working effectively within diverse organisations will be invaluable in the evolving international regulatory and risk environment in which M&G operates.
“We will also be able to draw on Shawn’s experience of both the UK and European financial markets as we pursue our domestic and international growth ambitions.
“I also want to thank Louise Gelling, interim CRCO, under whose stewardship the risk and compliance team have continued to deliver.”
Gamble said: “It’s an important moment for the savings and asset management industry, as international regulatory regimes are being scrutinised to ensure positive customer outcomes, while allowing markets the freedom to grow and capitalise on measured risks.
“I’m excited to be joining M&G at such a pivotal time as it navigates complex risk management to leverage its three core businesses: Life, Wealth and Asset Management and target strong returns for customers and investors.”
Gamble’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
